Buccaneers of the Caribbean : how piracy forged an empire, 1607-1697
Latimer, Jon2009
Books
From the moment the English established their first tiny colonies in the New World, semi-legal pirates took on the might of the Spanish Empire. The lure of Spanish gold was so strong that French and Dutch privateers soon joined them. Desperate gangs of cut-throats dominated the Caribbean throughout the 17th century.
